    Question

    Do you mean a folding rearstock like this or some kind of telescopic tube?

    One of the Spanish makers (Norica, I think) did a production one with an M3 Grease Gun/MP-5 style sliding stock.

    I have a vague recollection of Venom (?) in the 80s making a Webley Vulcan with an under-folder (a la Sterling/MP-40) stock and a quick-detach barrel.

    Sorry but that is a worthless piece of crap IMHO.

    I should have said for a break barrel or under lever mate. I see yours is a side lever. What is that airgun.

    I' m a bit surprised there hasn't been more of an effort to produce a folding stock of decent quality.

    They make transportation much easier and, if done properly, can look very good.

    I'd love someone to produce something like that cheap Chinese AK wannabe in the picture for a Weihrauch springer.

    The Webley in the other picture with the fold under stock was a venomised gun IIRC. I think it was fairly well received at the time. Early 90s product I believe.

    That makes sense. The Excel came out in 1998, and lasted until the Xocet replaced it in 2000.

    I'm not sure Venom sold more than one or three of them. I can't imagine the early 90s market for an expensive custom folding-stock multi-barrel springer was very large.

    In addition, I think there was an article in AGW in the 80s where someone adapted a Sterling SMG stock to a Webley break-barrel as a sort of survivalist/Mad Max air rifle.

    Something with a AR15 style pistol grip would be cool I think

    Second this !
    I would certainly be interested ! The AA TDR dosent float my boat as it "comes to pieces" and these can be dropped, mislaid or lost but a quality folding air rifle would be very practical and quicker to assemble and the opposite I would imagine ?
    “An airgun or two”………
